County-level city in Shaanxi, People's Republic of China
Shenmu (Chinese: 神木; pinyin: Shénmù; lit. 'Divine Trees') is a county-level city in the north of Shaanxi province, China, bordering Inner Mongolia to the northwest and Shanxi province, across the Yellow River, to the southeast. Under the administration of Yulin City, Shenmu is endowed with plentiful resources, especially coal, such as the three earth sovereigns coal fields of Huojitu, Yujialiang and Shagoupen which makes it the richest county in Shaanxi.[1] Shenmu county is also known for the Shimao archaeological site, the largest Neolithic settlement in China, and a city with evidence of trade networks stretching from the Eurasian Steppe to Southern China.[2]
Map including Shenmu (labeled as SHEN-MU (walled) 神木) (AMS, 1955)The toponym of city can trace its history back to the Song dynasty. There were three giant pine trees, which were said to be planted since Tang dynasty, close to the fort located at Yangjiacheng. The fort was named Shenmu Zhai (神木寨; [Fort of Divine Trees]). Then the county administering the area around the fort was established in 1269, and the toponym stuck.[3][4]
Shenmu has a large coalfield which should meet future demands for China's power growth.
